I just realized today that one of the elements I had forgot for the 'Time It Was' post was the 1984 Showtime production of Shaw's Heartbreak House, with Rex Harrison and Amy Irving. It had a distinct influence on me at the time. Indeed, I've heard that George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart's You Can't Take It With You was a spin on the Shaw play, updated and transposed into an American key, and both these productions were thick in my personal stew in the Eighties. Here it is on YouTube:
